Caleb Williams’ performance against the Packers ended on an interception, a play Williams admitted on Sunday evening he needed to deliver a better ball on to tight end Cole Kmet.
Personally, I think he needed to be a tick earlier on the release, and the ball itself would have been fine, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. The fact that we can even have a conversation about that end zone interception in the closing seconds is because Williams drove the Bears down to that spot on the f...
1. I must admit, I’m a little shocked at how much everyone is praising the Chicago Bears for losing so competitively to the Green Bay Packers. Of course, I agree the Bears played well, especially in the second half. But eventually, we have to get to a point where we expect the Bears to win […]
This is starting to look like a lost year for Kyler Gordon.
The 25-year-old cornerback has been limited to three games this season because of a variety of injuries. Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers should have marked his fourth appearance of the season. It was set to be his second game back after returning from a stint on injured reserve. Unfortunately, for the Bears, it wasn’t meant to be. Gordon suffered a groin injury during pre-game warmups and did not play. Chicago’s defen...

The Bears’ loss to the Packers shook up the NFC a bit. With Chicago falling to No. 7, Green Bay moves to into the No. 2 spot. Meanwhile, the Rams take over the top spot again. Over in the AFC, the Broncos used the Patriots being on their bye to move ahead of New England. Elsewhere, the Colts’ freefall and Chiefs’ collapse continue.
That, and more, in this week’s NFL playoff picture check-in.

The Bears’ five-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday with their 28-21 loss to the Packers. Though Chicago stills sit at 9-4, they are no longer in first place of the NFC North and find themselves a game away from being on the outside looking in on the playoff race. That goes to […]
Thanks to Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson, we can finally put to rest the “DJ Moore was open!” angle when discussing the final offensive play of the Chicago Bears’ Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers
Let’s allow the Bears coach to take us through it ( via The Athletic ):
“I didn’t see him as being the answer in that time. I think he came open more after the ball was released from Caleb. Nixon was man-to-man with DJ and was trailing him and ended up falling off and making a play on C...
As the Bulls continue into their stretch of off days, reports coming from the Chicago Bulls aren’t necessarily encouraging. Can they get things turned around after their time off? If not, things could get even uglier and in a hurry.
Bulls Bullets
Shortly after Bullets was published yesterday, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times dropped some really fun Chicago Bulls news. Apparently, according to one of his sources, amidst the brutal losing streak, the Bulls locker room is starting ...
Cubs President Jed Hoyer spoke with the media from the Winter Meetings, some of which we discussed last night . Some of the media session is available via Marquee, and I’ll embed it here so you can watch for yourself:
As I said, I got into a lot of the meat last night, but there was one snippet at The Athletic that I thought deserved a call out today:
“We’re definitely looking for another starter,” said Hoyer, who also sounded open to adding another swingman to go between ...
Another loss to the Green Bay Packers for the Chicago Bears, but it didn’t feel like a typical loss. Chicago lost by a touchdown on the second-to-last play of the game. Somehow though, it wasn’t a gut-wrenching, nut punch of a loss like so many that came before. Is it because the Bears get a […]
For everyone wanted the Blackhawks to call up a forward for additional depth before playing three games in four days, your wish is granted.
No, it’s not Nick Lardis .
On Tuesday morning, the Blackhawks recalled forward Dominic Toninato from the IceHogs.
Toninato, 31, has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 24 games this season with Rockford. He appeared in 20 NHL games with the Winnipeg Jets the previous three seasons combined. The Blackhawks signed Toninato to a two-year, tw...
With Week 14 of the NFL season in the books, let’s take a look at another 2026 NFL Mock Draft.
With the Giants now sitting at the top spot, would they trade down to a quarterback-needy team? It’s certainly possible, if not likely in my opinion. Plus, the Rams add their Matthew Stafford replacement, the Bears address their EDGE issues, and a whole lot more.
Let’s get to it.

Once again, I do not have it in me to write flowery prose in today’s BN Bears Bullets intro. We’ll try again tomorrow.
We will have more on this later. But Bears playoff tickets are coming available soon…

14 weeks of the NFL season have passed, and some former Scarlet Knights have had major impacts for their team in recent weeks. Kyle Monangai has proved himself to be a steady, every-down back, while Bo Melton’s breakout performance helped lift Green Bay to victory in their recent matchup against Monangai’s Bears. RB Kyle Monangai […]
The Winter Meetings so far are notable for one thing: The lack of major signings. The “biggest” thing that’s happened so far is Steven Matz, formerly of the Cardinals, signing a two-year deal with the Rays. Meanwhile, Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer talked relief pitching: After signing veteran reliever Phil Maton, team president […]
Back in Week 11, I wrote about Christian Watson’s two-touchdown game against the New York Giants. The Green Bay Packers wide receiver followed that up with a 5-catch, 49-yard game against the Vikings and a 4-catch, 80-yard, 1-TD game against the Lions on Thanksgiving. With Watson fully integrated into the offense after returning from his […]
Today at 4:30 PM ET, MLB will unveil the results of the Amateur Draft Lottery. The Cardinals currently have the 8th best odds of landing the number 1 overall pick at 2.35%. The Chicago White Sox (27.73%), Minnesota Twins (22.18%), and Pittsburgh Pirates (16.81%) round out the top 3. The Orioles, A’s, Braves, and Rays […]
The 2026 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship will take place between Dec. 26, 2025 and Jan. 5, 2026, in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota. If we’ve learned anything about the World Junior Championship, it would be wise for countries to have a Blackhawks prospect on their roster.
Each of the last five gold medal winning teams had at least one Blackhawks prospect (already drafted by Chicago) on its roster — and a couple more who eventually became Blackhawks.
Here’s the list of ...

Many people today know Bill Walton as an eccentric basketball broadcaster, but he had a long and interesting path before he got behind the mic. As a young man, he was introverted and uncomfortable but found an outlet in basketball. At UCLA, he won two national championships and entered the NBA highly regarded. Unbeknownst to […]
This one took awhile, close all the way until sputtering to a finish with a 13-11 win and no votes added in recent days. The winner was yet another southpaw starter, and one who’s yet to pitch a professional inning to boot: Blake Larson, earning 13 of 61 (21%) votes: The win came on Larson’s […]
The Los Angeles Rams lost the top spot in the NFC last week, but they regained it in Week 14 with the Chicago Bears losing. The Rams are once again the top team in the NFC thanks to their tiebreaker win over the Seattle Seahawks. The Green Bay Packers are the new second-place team after […]
The Green Bay Packers are back where they should be atop the NFC North after their win over the Chicago Bears. they sit second in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams remain in first place after their win, moving to 10-3. The Seattle Seahawks tied them but they are in the same division and the […]
